"At the moment, for us, it is a very good solution because it has all the features we need and it is not so expensive."
"We had several clients that were paying $7,500 a month for an MPLS line for one single 10 megabit circuit and we were able to take that from $7,500 a month down to $500 a month for two 10 megabits circuits that added redundancy where before they did not have redundancy and it gave them a much better throughput."
"The file and data reduction capabilities are very good. Without it, we have a great deal of network congestion."

"The central security management center and the content management center are very good."
"We find the product to be stable and reliable in terms of performance."

"Forcepoint's stability is satisfactory, for the most part."
"I don't have anything bad to say about the product. I absolutely love it."

"This solution is suitable for small to medium-sized companies. If we have large-sized companies it is better to use Cisco or Palo Alto."
"More technical sessions should be offered for deploying the solution."
"Next Generation Firewall's configuration could be improved."
"When it comes to a complex deployment, the rules, firewall features, SD-WAN core features, and auto-scaling can cause the device to be not quite stable."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of custom reporting."
"We feel the product's technical support could be better, as this relates to the solution itself, to the installation of the product, and to having a proper understanding of the case."
"The endpoint protection capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
